So, I'm sure people have played the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, where you try to connect Kevin Bacon to any person through movies. So I was wondering, who's the Broadway Kevin Bacon? The most prolific actor who's the easiest to connect to people? Anyone want to play a Broadway version of that game where you connect actors?
Let's say I wanted to connect Laura Bell Bundy and Michael Cerveris.
LBB was in Legally Blonde with Richard H. Blake
Richard H. Blake was in The Wedding Singer with Laura Benanti
Laura Benanti was in Gypsy with Patti LuPone
Patti LuPone was in Sweeney Todd with Michael Cerveris

actually, come to think of it, this is a better version of the game than the other thread. I mean, by just going from one actor to the next the game would never end, this would be tricky and fun, and involve more knowledge.
So would you be sticking to one actor a la Bacon or just any two?
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
